When my ex-boss, Ms Julie Jackson, DOSM first told me that she is sending me to Spain and Cannes for EIBTM and ILTM, I was so thrilled ... A week prior to travelling, I could not sleep and kept thinking of both countries (Spain and France) because I have not been there before.
Well, finally, I made it on mid November 2007 ... I must say that the place is really WOW ! Managed to learnt a few spanish words, the popular one is "mucho gracias", means thank you. The hotel that I have stayed together with all the other friends from other Shangri-Las is called Hotel Arts Barcelona, a 5-star hotel, located next to their Barcelona Casino. Guess what, the darling of every women, Anthonio Banderas walked into the hotel one evening with his bodyguards. All our jaws dropped as he entered into the hotel. Matured, manly and charming !
After taking Tapas for almost a week, I have finally, decided to just go for simple food, guess what ? It's McDonalds .... located just right in front of their square. Went for heavy shopping around Catalunya place ... and their main shopping store called En Cote Iglacias... Bought a total of 7 bottles of perfumes from Zara ... really good bargain I must say.
Well from there, I travelled to Cannes ... The ILTM Tradeshow was held in Palais de France, an exhibition hall where the yearly famous Film Festival is held. Stayed in Martinez Hotel which is also belonging to Ritz Carlton group, the hotel is beautiful with excellent service and overlooking the ocean. Cannes is really a place for all the rich and famous to be ... movie stars, singers and many tycoons are always there with their pets to walk along the beach ...
Above all, I have trully enjoyed my trip there and have made many new friends with the Shangri-La family members.
I know it may seems silly to put the photo of my bed into this blog, but what the heck, it's my blog and I just wanted to remember it always....
Well, two-third of our time are spent in the office and I always believed that we must take every effort in making our working place and environment to be conducive, comfortable and cozy for a healthier working ambience. My offices have always been my "Nerve Centre" ... it's the place where I have the most pleasures and pressures at the same time !
I became a god mum when my friend, Linda Lee @ Nur Dini Lee binti Abdullah gave birth to her elder son, Mohd Aiman bin Saiful Anuar.
The heading says it all .... my friends whom I hang-out with almost every day.. From playing badminton to movies ... kopi sessions to drinking sessions .... from karaoke to never-ending makan-makan ...
